Nope. The 3 pence coin belongs to the pre-decimal currency system and is now obsolete. Great Britain started to use the decimal currency coins in 1968 alongside the pre-decimals, and changed completely to decimal by 15th February 1971. If your 3 pence 1942 coin is the silver type, it has a value of £2 in average circulated, else if it's a nickel-brass(yellowish) type, the value is £1 in nice circulated with traces of original lustre.

I have been traveling to the UK since 1981 and never seen or heard about a 3 pence coin.
All the old coins, from before the decimal system was introduced are taken out of use, as are the first decimal coins which replaced them and had the same sizes.
If your 3 pence piece it real it has collectors value and/or curiosity value only.
But I think some people worldwide will want to own a 3 pence piece, if real, because that is a rare value for any country.
